Wednesday, December 03, 2003 Wizbang 2003 Weblog Awards. So I was playing a game with myself to see how many of the nominees I recognized. Quite a few, actually. And I was thinking--what if I make my own "weblog awards"? But then anyone of importance who would get nominated would be way too insulted at the imagined implication that some backwater blog like mine would think they need any more attention from nobodies. Plain English Campaign. You know, I like the idea of writing clearly so people can understand what you're trying to get across, especially in the field of science, but I also don't want to sacrifice vocabulary for simplicity. I can easily imagine people taking this too far and limiting our language to, say, 200 words just to express necessary concepts. Sometimes, complexity can be a good thing. [posted by S. Y.
